It's been a fine year for CRAZY WISDOM all over the world. We're grateful to hear that people are downloading from our distributors Kino Lorber - Alive Mind and expressing a real connection to Chogyam Trungpa! Please note the new link which will take you straight to our Final DVD with EXTRAS.

The Extras include moments shared with our filmmaking team about how CRAZY WISDOM affected their lives and more first-hand stories about and by the inimitable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

And for our friends who’ve been emailing from all over the world, asking how CRAZY WISDOM can come to their country, ALIVE MIND CINEMA has made CRAZY WISDOM available for download worldwide!!

Shocking and sad news from Tibet: Akong Rinpoche, the man who escaped from Tibet with Chogyam Trungpa on that perilous, freezing trek to India, and told the story for the film, has been killed. A nephew and assistant were also "assassinated" as reported in the news. He was traveling there to oversee the monasteries and nunneries supported by his center in England. We hold them in our meditation and send his family our deepest sympathy.
